Sharon Zollner: ANZ Chief Economist on what rising inflation means for OCR - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

Rising inflation is hitting low-income households hard, but is expected to spark hikes to the OCR. 

New data -- due out from Stats NZ this morning -- is expected to show inflation has risen to between 2.6 and 2.9 percent in the year to June.
